Wine Tender believes in personal communication, especially when it comes to enjoying and buying great wines.
Feeling a bit tired of the anonymity of online wine sales and uninspiring wine clubs, we would like to give our clients an entirely different experience.
When we say that together we create magic, we intend to include relevant content, education and pleasure with every wine sale.

By organizing marvelous events in Piemonte around wine and the culture of wine, we mostly want to connect people with the same passion and interests.
Sharing wine experiences with other wine lovers in a pleasant, stimulating and entertaining atmosphere,
will create the magic that we thrive for and the unique experience that you are looking for.
We would like to educate and to entertain you at the same time.
Wine Tender seeks out special and Wine Tender exclusive wines; but it also gives you an
opportunity to discuss wine with knowledgeable, passionate, professional and charming people.

Anja Cramer

In 2004 Anja Cramer moved from Duesseldorf, Germany to Piemonte, Italy. Her Mosel Riesling roots from her grandparent’s side and a huge passion for wine made her venture into Italy, willing to learn more about Italian varietals and wine making.
With an MBA in Marketing in California, Piemonte immediately represented to her a fabulous environment for her passion of wine, food and marketing.

In Summer of 2004 Anja became Export and Marketing Manager of La Spinetta. Alongside of owner and winemaker Giorgio Rivetti, she grew the business with her organizational, marketing and sales strategies.

In 2011 Anja and Giorgio Rivetti acquired Italy’s oldest sparkling wine house, Contratto winery in Canelli,
founded in 1867. Anja became a partial proprietor in the Estate and supported the growth and rebuilding
of the brand with her Marketing skills and expertise.

At the same moment she founded the La Spinetta One Liter Club, a private member club that today has more than 1500 members worldwide.

Piemonte has long become her home, a place she continues to love for the same reasons she came 18 years ago, the amazing food, wine and landscape of the Langhe.

Anja is the founder of Wine Tender, as her 18-year experience in the world of wine have taught her how important the final consumer is.
There is no bigger satisfaction for wine producers than to see people enjoying their products.
Anja brings her knowledge of the private international wine consumer to Wine Tender and her experience  to entertain people, while enjoying a moment of magic.
